In his latest book, the Footy Show star reveals countless tales displaying the lighter side of League. Matthew tells why David Waite unwittingly vandalised a stranger's Holden Camira, how a nine-year-old Brett Finch proved to be the world's most irritating sand boy, and how Paul Harragon's pre-wedding celebrations erupted into an all-in brawl - and Matty's role in all of the above. From the Sheds is a rare insight into the spirit of Rugby League, written by someone who embodies the humour and the grit of the toughest game of all. 'Geez ...
